OpenJFS for OS/2 source code available! (Posted by Achim Hasenmueller)
Based on the GPLed source codes of JFS for Linux (that are actually taken from the
OS/2 source code with some Linux
adjustments and some stuff removed), the first source code release of the free JFS
file system for OS/2 has been made
available at the Netlabs public CVS server. The repository information is:
SET PSERVER=:pserver:guest_at_www.netlabs.org:d:/netlabs.src/openjfs
user: guest
password: readonly
A source code snapshot can be found at:
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/snapshots/openjfs/openjfs_20000421.zip
There is no binary distribution available right now because there are still some
problems to resolve. It works quite well
without the lazy writer but with it, it can cause lockups. Shutting down the file system
also causes some problems. Most of
the utilities (like chkdsk) are not compiling yet. It should be usable on Warp Server
for e-business and also Warp 4 with at
least Fixpak 13 installed!
The goal is to fix the remaining bugs, build some stress test tools (a file system
should be tested quite well before daily
use) and to add new features that IBM is also working on or that are completely
unique (lazy commit, disk quota, bootable
file system, support for removable drives, performance optimizations, ...).
Therefore we are looking for talented developers that want to help working on this
great file system!
Kudos go to Knut Osmundsen for getting the initial version working and especially
Dave Kleikamp (lead JFS developer at
IBM Austin) for being so helpful. According to Dave, the Linux JFS will be
specifically supporting volume sharing between
OS/2 and Linux!
